Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Any thoughts on the Magpul moe RIFLE stock?

Anyone tried one of these? I have always been a big fan of the ACE LTD ARFX stock. They look a little funny but are very comfortable. These have worked great for me over the years but have recently run into a problem with them. About 6 months ago I had a recoil pad seperate on mine. No big deal it was about 6 years old and this ain't a mil-spec part. I ordered another pad for about $10 from ACE and put it on. Life was good again. Now only 6 months later the new pad is seperating again! One every 6 years is acceptable in my book. 2 a year isn't so I'm looking for a replacement for the ACE LTD ARFX.

Any thoughts on the Magpul MOE rifle stock? The non-adjustable version is what I'm looking at.

How does the ACE pad attach? FWIW, I put a flip flop pad on a Remington 700 with JB Weld and it's held for years. Might be worth a try if you really like the ACE.

I've never used the fixed Magpul stock.

It's a soft rubber pad that has metal inserts in it. The stock screws catch these inserts and hold the pad to the stock. The problem comes from the inserts pulling though the rubber on the front of the pad and the pad "peels" off. I could just glue the rubber pad on but I'm sure I would make a mess of it. Plus the pad doesn't have a hard backing, the glue would go on soft rubber.

I might give that a try but right now I'm leaning towards a replacement.

Use some 3m glue the yellow stuff stays pliable.

The Magpul stock looks better (I was never a fan of Ace stocks) but I haven't tried one. I kinda quit playing with the new AR stuff.

I have been wanting to try this on my .308 which currently has a ACS on it. I like the design and weight of the MOE rifle stock.

Like this? I love this stock!

I like the RRA operator stocks. they use a commercial tube and extend longer than most stocks, works great for me.

From the receiver to the butt pad, my LMT mil spec stock and extension measure 11 1/4". How much further does the RR measure?

If we all had copies of your Fauxneske, we would too.

I really like the MOE rifle stock. Been using it quite a bit and much prefer it to a collapsible stock. You also get to use the rifle spring and buffer.

Win Win.

Thanks Blue.

Fauneske, I like that.

Using the rifle spring and buffer is a plus.

Another vote for the MOE, though I have a split between MOE and ACE stocks on rifles now. I like both, but the MOE is the better hunting rifle choice for me.

What is LOP? I like the way it looks. Back to the future part 2, everyone wants a fixed stock now!

Not everyone...

i dont want a fixed either but thats mostly cause the wife and i are shooting the same gun......if i get around to building my own gun that may change....or may not.....being able to collapse the stock is handy for a truck gun

LOP is 13 5/8 by my tape.

Here is Wyoming Governor Matt Mead checking one out.

You can also buy a thicker butt pad to get I believe another 5/8".

Sorry not 5/8", 3/4".

I've been using rifle stocks almost exclusively for the last 10-12 years and now I'm trendy. It took long enough

that magpul fixed stock looks like it would work great with a rear bag shooting off a bench.
